USING THE TRANSMISSION
The transmission is provided to keep the engine operating
smoothly in its normal operating speed range.
The
gear ratios have been carefully chosen to meet the
characteristics of the engine. The rider should always
select the most suitable gear for the prevailing conditions.
Never slip the clutch to control road speed, but rather
downshift to allow the engine to run within its normal
operational range.
B
WARNING
Downshifting when engine revs are too high can:
Cause the rear wheel to skid and lose traction
due to increased engine braking, resulting in an
accident; or
Force the engine to over rev in the low gear,
resulting in engine damage.
Downshifting while the motorcycle is leaned over
in a corner may cause rear wheel skid and result in
loss of control.
B
CAUTION
No matter which gear is chosen, never make the
engine rev too high, never use half clutch or have
the motorcycle slide, otherwise internal parts of the
engine tend to become damaged.
RIDING ON HILLS
•
When climbing steep hills, the motorcycle may begin
to slow down and show reduced power. At this point
you should shift to a lower gear so that the engine
will again be operating in its normal power range.
Shift rapidly to prevent the motorcycle from losing
momentum.
•
When descending a long, steep slope, use engine
compression to assist the brakes by shifting to a lower
gear. Continuous brake application can overheat the
brakes and reduce their effectiveness.
•
Be careful, however, not to allow the engine to overrev.
